How long does a 16-year-old have to hold a learners permit for driving for Colorado?
A 16-year-old teen in Colorado must hold a learner’s permit, also called an instruction permit, for at least 12 months before becoming eligible for a Minor Driver’s License. This also applies for those under age 21. Being eligible for a driver’s license means the teen has already completed all the other requirements (including a Drive Time Log) in order to take the driver’s test.
